registry change

[avlbryan]

i am trying to simply change a registry value for a linksys wlan adapter using some vb script. The script is below: when i run this from cmd line with cscript i dont see the change in the registry.

const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"&_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
dim return
return = objReg.SetStringValue (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0033", "MPC","1")

What OS are you running...

Some OS's have locked parts of the registry, so that scripts like this cant cause havoc on the system..

AFAIK. not even Admin privileges allows the Reg to be written...

Try to export it, then CHANGE it. You can IMPORT it then.

Regedit has 100% access to the reg.. It's other app's that are locked out from writing to .. LocalMachine, CurrentConfig & Users reg.. And parts of the CurrentUser reg is also locked..

Now the next question is Why do you want to change this reg entry, there may be another way to get to what you want....
